From the wonderful world of law enforcement, my reader Officer Cynical sent in this story yesterday:

"This morning I arrested a woman for DUI, after she drove off the street and hit a tree at 7:30 a.m. She was quite drunk, and thought it was 11:00 at night and that she was going to her overnight shift at Walmart.

Anyway, once in the little ER exam room for blood draws and jail clearance, my partner said to her: "Doris, this may take a while. Why don't you have a seat?"

Some are like that and those are the lawyers that succeed. Others go into law school for the right reasons and soon find that their faith in the legal system was entirely misplaced. Been there, done that. You cannot function as a caring person in the law because the system has been thorughly corrupted.

Reminds me of an incident many years ago when I had a prescription forger arrested. He ran & 1 of the cops chasing him slipped,tore his pants,skinned his knee & scratched up his gun. He was pissed & drew said gun on the perp. When they returned to the pharmacy for initial questions,I offered the bad guy a seat. He said he'd better stand because he'd shat himself.

Welcome to my whining!
